My class bitch went over two specials last weekend and my special still got Grand Champion points, so I don't think it will make any difference. In another breed, the judge dumped the special with both class animals and gave no Grand Champion points to the specials.

There was one thing that has come up that I haven't seen on the List yet, unless I missed it. Some folks feel that this would be the end of class dogs going BOB over specials. A matter of great pride to some of the breeder/owner/handlers. How do you, Judges and exhibitors, feel about this?
